ABSTRACT:
The microspheres are one of the novel drug delivery system in which effective therapeutic alternative to
conventional or immediate release single-unit dosage forms. Microspheres can be characterized as solid,
diameter having between 1–1000μ[Link] are different types of microsphere explained. These microspheres
prepared and fill them in a hard gelatin or compress them directly. The microspheres which are prepared by
using different technique that are changes their effectiveness and administration of the dosage form as compare
to conventional dosage form. Microsphere will be evaluated by using different methods that analyses quality of
the microsphere. The microspheres which will get central place in novel drug delivery in future.
